A wagon had become uncoupled from a freight train between Marsden and Huddersfield.

The wagon was blocking the line which meant peak time train services from Manchester towards Huddersfield had to be replaced with buses, and this in turn caused major problems for people heading from Huddersfield towards Leeds.

It is a very busy service with regular complaints about overcrowding on the carriages.

With train services from Manchester being diverted and not calling at Huddersfield, there were huge queues at Huddersfield station as coaches were put on to replace them.

Many people took to Twitter to express their frustrations. Alex Humphries tweeted: “A broken down freight train has meant all trains to Leeds from Huddersfield are cancelled. Commuter chaos!”
